Since we came across his site a few months back, blogger/broker Malcolm Carter has become one of our regular reads. After all, how can you not love a guy who calls out his co-op board on the Internet.

This week, Carter is dueling with auction company Bid on the City, whose Monday auction of 10 Manhattan properties he attended and blogged about.

Apparently unhappy with his coverage, BOTC managing director Raymond Villani fired off a response that somehow made its way to Curbed.

Never one to bite his tongue, Carter has now responded to the response. If we’re lucky, perhaps there will be a reponse to the response to the response, and this thing can keep us all going until the market picks up again.

In the meantime … at the BOTC auction, a Harlem brownstone once listed for $1.7 million went for $400,000, and an apartment at 147 W. 142nd St. listed for $445,000 went for $50,000. The only problem, as Carter points out, is that the sellers have to approve the sales, which they almost certainly won’t.
